Bush Aides Say Budget Deficit Will Rise Again
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 - The White House announced on Tuesday that the federal budget deficit was expected to rise this year to $427 billion, a figure that includes a new request from President Bush to help pay for the war in Iraq. (source)
But wait. I thought our dear President assured us during the campaign that he was going to cut the deficit in half within five years. He wouldn't lie to us, would he?
Nah, that would be like telling conservative Christians you were in favor of a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage just to get their vote. Surely our President would never do anything like that, would he?

For the record, Kent doesn't have a sarcastic bone in his body. ;-)
I personally prefer sarcasm to hypocrisy, but that's just me. For fun, if you haven't read them (they were broadcast yesterday on NPR), find Mark Dayton's (Senator from Minnesota) comments calling Condoleeza Rice a liar.
